8 Ways To General Health And Fitness
It never fails but as soon as I wrote all my Weight Loss, Weight Gain, Fitness and Nutrition type oftips I had a few left over that couldn't really be placed into these categories.
But as you will see they are right on the money for your general health and fitness and can be usedin your everyday activities.
Lets take a peek:
What Is A Healthy Diet - A healthy diet satisfies two criteria: It contains enough fibre and a numberof micronutrients including vitamins and minerals to maintain a healthy body. It is balanced in formsof fat, protein, and carbohydrates and micronutrients.
Don't Train With The Flu - This is one of the biggest exercise blunders you can make A number oftemperature raising viruses, including the flu can affect the muscles.
People often forget that the heart is also a muscle and can be weakened by the flu virus. Normallyour hearts can cope with the strain of this, but exercising on top of an already weakened heart ispotentially fatal. After a bout of the flu, you should wait at least 48 hours before exercising again.
Cool Down - When you do a strenuous workout the blood vessels in your muscles dilate to delivermore blood for the muscles to operate. The skin vessels also dilate to increase the heat loss fromyour body, which is why you get flushed after exercise.
If you don't give your blood and skin vessels enough time to recover, and jump straight under hotwater your skin vessels will dilate even further. Then your heart goes into overdrive trying to pumpblood throughout the body.
Ultimately you might notice symptoms like faintness, dizziness or at worst, you could even collapse.
Don't Eat Before Exercising - Always try to eat two or three hours before your exercise and not afterthat. If you do eat before exercise you can develop what is known as "dumping syndrome' where theblood supply that normally goes to your muscles during exercise is diverted to your gut.
This means that you're not getting enough blood to your muscles, which can cause you to becomelethargic and faint.
Try to Give Up Smoking - the best and easiest way to give up smoking is to replace it with anotherhabit. Unfortunately, quitting has been associated with weight gain if you replace your cigarette habitwith a candy or snack food habit.
So replace the smoking with the habit of exercise!! Nothing tough or painful at first and build up to it.A five minute walk instead of a cigarette and aim to build it up slowly and easily.
Before, you will be fitter, you will be healthier and your body will be more you realize tight and toned.

You will feel better in the morning, your breath will be worth being near again and fingernails, hairand skin will take on a much younger fresher look!! Of the people who die from lung cancer, 95% ofthem smoke.
Protein Power - Carbohydrates supply the sort of calories easily burned during cardiovascularexercise, but protein plays an important part in building muscle mass - or rather in not storing foodas fat. "This is largely because the bulk of protein that is eaten will be used to build muscle".
Further the average male will lose 500gms of muscle - not fat - every year once he stops regularexercise. While older men and women are usually touted as the beneficiaries of strength training soto are the young.
Planned Exercise - I suggest you start with 100 minutes per week of mildly puffing exercise be it2x50 mins, 3x35 mins, 4x25 mins, 5x20 mins all of which produce the same results.
Mix up your aerobic activities in the gym; use the treadmill, bike, climber or any other training gearavailable to you.
Keep A Training Log - Keep a training log for all your fitness requirements, keeping account of thereps you are using, how many sets, what weights you are using and also the date, time and wherethe workout took place is imperative for gauging your day to day progress.
Also recording all cardio- vascular activities is just as important.
In conclusion, these general health and fitness might have been left to last but the are still right upthere as far as your health and fitness is concerned.

Exercising The Liver: An Excellent Guide To Health & Fitness
It is a tough job for the liver to keep the cleaning function of the body always in smooth operationespecially with the present-day unhealthy eating and drinking habits of people. And, like any othermachines, it encounters malfunctioning that needs immediate troubleshooting. But unlike othermachines that need only oiling to run again, the liver has to be looked upon very carefully or theentire system will suffer if it does not function very well. In youth, you might not notice the effects of malfunctioning liver. But when you reach middle andadvanced age, you will discover that a lot of sicknesses are being caused by a malfunctioning liver.The symptoms of a damaged liver are: dull aching pain in the right side of the stomach area - oftenunder the shoulder blade, terrible pain at the nape, rough tongue, unpleasant taste in the mouth inthe morning and the appearance of yellowish color in the whites of the eyes. Other than those, aperson with a troubled liver would also frequently feel loss of appetite, dizziness and drowsinessafter meals. With these indications of ailments, the person is often irritated and weak which could affect hisentire outlook in life. And this could lead to fast deterioration of the body. Growing old would thenbecome a burden. But you can do something to prevent that misfortune from happening to you. Aging doesn't have tobring about all sorts of diseases. It is not a reason that because you are getting old, you areexpected to feel all kinds of sickness. There are times when you regret why you never heeded theadvice to you before and why you never paid enough attention to your health when you wereyounger. Instead of dwelling on those regrets, why don't you try doing something to alleviate thatcondition? No matter at what age you will decide to do so, it is never too late. Sanford Bennett, aphenomenal celebrity for bodily rejuvenation thru natural methods, has proven so. In his campaign for total health rejuvenation, Sanford Bennett devised a program of exercise for theliver to keep it in a fine condition. The liver, being a gland, would respond well when exercised. Andan exercise involving tension of the abdominal muscles will benefit the liver along with somemassaging techniques. But of course, before doing the exercise, one must be familiar with theposition and the structure of his own liver. * First Exercise There are three exercises Sanford Bennett described for the liver. Feel the location of your liver withthe fingers of both hands as you lie on your back. Press the fingers upward past the ribs. The livercan be easily moved and tensed because the abdominal muscles are in relaxed state. Createpressing movements under and upwards. Do this twenty times and increasing daily until you reach100 or until your condition permits. This tensing exercise is comparable to the effect you get when you ride a horse. This is an exercisefrequently prescribed by physicians when the liver is not in good condition. * Second Exercise Lie on your right side and place your left hand over the area of your liver. Position yourself with thehead slightly inclined forward and with the knees bent. This will relax the abdominal muscles andplace the liver forward. With your knuckle of the thumb or the pad of a finger, press well under theribs and massage the liver. * Third Exercise (Percussion) Light thumping of the liver will also help in the healthy activity of the liver. Lie on your left side whichinclines the liver forward and the muscles relaxed. With your right fist, strike lightly but rapidly on the

area. Begin with twenty strikes and increase daily up to how many your condition permits. When the liver is properly taken cared of, the whole body system is guaranteed to be in a goodcondition. And when you pay equal attention to all the parts of your body, there is no need to worryabout your health failing. Take care of your body. About the Author The writer, Ismael D.

Goal Setting in Fitness & Nutrition

*** ***
A goal is the result or achievement toward which effort is directed. Without setting goals in exerciseor nutrition, there is far less value and purposeful direction; and they need to be measurable andrealistic. For example, a thin teenager weighing 120 pounds wishing to weight 220-pounds ofmuscle is both specific and measurable. However, he cannot hope to achieve such a physique,especially not soon and probably not without growth-enhancing drugs. Therefore, in this instance,the goal to gain 100 pounds of muscle is specific, it is measurable, but it is unrealistic.
Non-measurable goals, such as "I want to lose fat and get lean," will never be realized since theterm "lean" is subjective with no objective measurement. What is lean to one person may not belean to another... or perhaps it is "too lean". Once the individual obtains a supposed state ofleanness, will that person know that he has achieved that goal or will his perception of what hethinks is "lean" change because of higher standards and greater expectations? On the other hand, ifa trainee indicated that he wants to reduce body fat to a level of ten percent, then he has ameasurable goal – one that can be quantified.
Next, to achieve goals better, trainees must provide a measurement and do so in the smallestamount necessary and within reason relative to past accomplishments. Don't aim for somethinggreater than you could ever have achieved in the past. Moreover, the more distant the goal, and thesmaller the increments, the more likely the success of obtaining the goal. But it should be noted thata goal must require some degree of effort and challenge. If the goal is too small or easy to obtain,there is little incentive or sense of accomplishment or pride.
Goals can be measured in terms of outcome and performance. An outcome goal refers to that whicha person is aiming to achieve, such as lifting five pounds more in the bench press next workout or afar greater weight over the course of several months. There is little flexibility in this type of goal –either it is achieved or it is not. Performance goals refer to the process through which a personachieves those goals, including both the short- and long-term. Performance goals are much moreflexible, and allows a person to reorganize a strategy from day to day in order to meet the outcomegoal(s). Performance goals are associated with less anxiety, since there is flexibility and, as a result,should be emphasized in an exercise and nutrition program. It can be upsetting not to achieve anoutcome goal, but if all the steps leading up to the outcome were done to the best of your ability, it iseasy to maintain motivation in preparing for the next outcome goal.
When determining a long-term goal, a strategy of immediate, short-term goals (performance goals)must be considered. For example, if you desire a ten-pound increase on the best bench press, howwill you get there? This is accomplished by creating a workout schedule, a long-term plan of
6
Health and Fitness Nutrition
increasing "x" pounds/ounces to the bar each workout until you achieve the extra ten pounds. Theplan may need to be reevaluated then re-designed – particularly if you fail to increase the weight by"x" pounds/ounces during one of the workouts, and falling short in the end. It could be further statedthat creating a goal strategy in exercise is very similar to a marketing or business plan in that goalsmay be established, but they may also need reformulating on a regular basis to reflect current factsof finance, the economy, sales, customer satisfaction, etc.
GOAL SETTING PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGY
Set Specific Goals. The goal must be measurable, such as "bench press 275 pounds" by a certaindate rather than "increase the bench press" and without a concrete date in mind.
Set Difficult and Realistic Goals. The goal must be within reach, yet challenging in order to increasemental arousal and motivation. Easy goals will not be motivating, yet goals that are nearlyimpossible will hinder motivation for future workouts. Goals must reflect your genetic abilityaccurately; as strength and size increases, the ability to match past goals will diminish.
Establish Short-term Goals. Each main goal must consist of sub-goals or short-term goals. Before aperson can increase chest measurement by an inch, or bench-press an additional 50 pounds, hemust progress in smaller amounts. Being able to see patterns in those amounts (your results over aparticular period of time), or lack thereof, provides valuable data and feedback in your ability toachieve long-term goals during a specific time frame. Not being able to achieve short-term goalsprovides further information as to what is not working and the need for a new plan of short-termgoals in order to achieve the long-term goal.
Develop Goal-Achievement Strategies. A trainee cannot achieve short- or long-term goals withoutknowing how he or she eventually will get there. In order to lose an inch off the waist, you must firstlose a quarter-inch, then a half-inch, etc., and each step requires a certain amount of exercise and aproper eating plan. These aspects determine your daily or immediate goals.
Create Backup Plans of Action. What happens if a short-term goal is not reached? If somethinggoes wrong, is it probable that the long-term goal will be reached? It will be difficult to get back ontrack if a backup plan of action is not established to correct any minor setbacks. If the goal is to losea quarter-inch off the waist during the first month, and the trainee only lost one-eighth inch, thechances of losing a quarter-inch during the next phase of the strategy is highly unlikely (unlessexercise is increased and eating is decreased). It will be necessary to rethink the strategy anddecide what must be done in order to get back on track. But rather than waiting for the possibility offailure, strategize ahead of time and anticipate failure or what could go wrong.
Individual Personality Considerations. Prior to establishing goals, personality must be considered. Isthe person a high-achiever or a low-achiever? Does the person have the commitment and can he orshe maintain that commitment? Can the person sustain the motivation to reach a difficult goal thatmay be a year away while paying attention to diet and intense exercise during that time on adaily/weekly basis? Does the person have the maturity and intellect to work through any problemsleading to each goal? How does the individual accept failure – as a learning experience or another"nail in the coffin" of defeat?
7
Health and Fitness Nutrition
Provide for Goal Evaluation. At the end of each short- and long-term goal, evaluate performance,dedication, motivation, and well you did to achieve (or surpass) your goals. From this information itwill be easier to establish future goals, and to make goals easier or more challenging, by learningfrom mistakes, failures, and successes. Also, evaluate the backup plans of action and if any of thosesteps needed to be implemented, your problem-solving skills, what went right, what went wrong, andany factors that were not considered.
Provide Goal Support. Share goals with others, such as a loved one, friends, a mentor, orassociates on the Internet. Telling people about what you intend to achieve increases support andkeeps you on the path to prove your ability rather than experiencing humiliation or embarrassmentfrom backing down when the going gets tough. Regular updates on a long-term goal, and how eachshort-term goal is proceeding will keep you in check and sustain motivation.

Is Anti-Aging Just About Skin Care? How To Defy Age Through Health And Fitness
We the baby boomers, that is those aged about 40 and above make up about one quarter of theworld's population and are growing older rapidly. Considering that most of these baby boomers havealready established their careers, have accumulated savings with disposable income, having grownup or fast growing up children and would probably owned their own homes, what do they want next?A secret antidote to stop the aging process would be nice isn't it?
Business owners are quick to capitalize on this rich and growing market dreaming up multitudes ofanti aging products and services to cater to the baby boomers. The fear of growing old and the lossof youth and vitality are so real that these industries are doing businesses in the tune of billions ofdollars every year. Products like slimming pills, health care, skincare and look good products are sohighly in demand that you see these companies pitching their products in multi million advertisingcampaigns. Some of these products do work very well but most don't.
Of all the products and services catering to the baby boomers, skin care anti aging products seemsto be spearheading the charge and raking in immense profit. Consumers persuaded byadvertisements of skin care companies promising face lift without surgery, wrinkles vanishingcreams and a host of other variations are snapping up these products real quick. Men are also notspared from the marketing onslaught and lines of men's skincare products are now plentiful too.
Do you know what can be the best anti aging weapon against the effects of aging? Nope, it is notthe skincare products that you can buy off the shelves. It is looking after your own health andfitness.
Do you remember the good old days when you are able to play robust games, climb trees, cyclelong distances and enjoying them? Are you able to do these things with gusto these days? If not,why not? That is because your health and fitness is slowly and surely deteriorating as you age. Weare putting on body fat faster because our metabolism is slowing down. From the age of about 25,our body starts to produce less and less growth hormones leading to deterioration of body tissuesand the process to replace and repair tissue cells is being comprised more and more as we age.That is why we recover slower from diseases, muscles are getting smaller and weaker, bones aregetting brittle and wrinkles start forming. In other words, we are slowly dying. So how do we defyage?
To defy these aging effects, we have got to keep ourselves fit and healthy. By improving our fitnessand health levels, we are able to slow down and defy the aging process. We protect muscle andbone loss by lifting weights. With cardio exercises, we strengthen our hearts and lungs and improveour immunity keeping deadly age related diseases and obesity at bay. We will regain some theenergy and vitality of our youthful days making daily chores so much easier to handle. Best of all,exercises reduces stress, improve your posture and adds a healthy glow to your skin. And you knowwhat? It is free.
So isn't improving your health and fitness is the best antidote to the aging process? I know becauseI refuse to let age defy me. So with good healthy eating habits a regular dose of exercise, I am able
11
Health and Fitness Nutrition
to play competitive soccer with people half my age, enjoy mountain tracking and scuba diving nowand then. That to me is a much more fulfilling and enjoyable life than having jars of anti aging pillsand skincare creams sitting on my shelf and burning a gaping hole in my pocket. Having goodhealth and an excellent fitness level is your best weapon to defy age and keep the aging process atbay.

Nutrition – What Are The Nutritional Needs?
Nutrition as it applies to our daily lives means that we take in what we need to maintain our body’shealthy state. Nutrition has become an important word thanks to the involvement of the USDA in ourdaily food requirements, and the FDA’s involvement in determining what is and is not dangerous forus to consume.
But what is our responsibility in the nutrition game? Do we understand what our nutritionalrequirements are, how to fulfill those requirements, and how to look for real nutritional value in ourfoods?
I’m not sure that nutrition has been successfully addressed in its own right. We hear nutrition inrelation to our vitamin intake, our fortified cereals and milk, and in the context that we need“nutritional value” from our food choices. But what really is nutrition when applied to our daily bodilyfunctions?
Today, we must determine how much nourishment we need, how much physical exercise we need,and how best to accomplish those ends. Calorie needs, nutritional needs, physical needs, andeducation about those needs now is information we should all understand, at least as it applies toour individual self.
If you will visit your local doctor, library, or fitness center, there is massive amounts of informationavailable to help educate and to help you make good health choices, no matter what the age group.
Nutrition refers to the nurturing of our body, in our ability to keep it healthy and functioning as it issupposed to do. Our ability to provide the body with all it’s necessary food, vitamins, and minerals sothat we continue to thrive in our daily life processes.
If you were to take a cross section of the population, and check for adequate levels of the most usedand fortified vitamins and minerals, you would probably find that as high as 80% or the population islacking in a least one of the vitamins and minerals.
Now, that doesn’t sound too bad, until you stop to think, what if it’s calcium? A calcium deficiencybrings on osteoporosis, a deteriorating of the bone. This disease alone costs millions in medicalexpense to the population.
Can you see how a little more cooperation and open-minded participation on the part of our medicalfield could result in far fewer health problems? It would also have provided the general populationwith a viable way to discern their nutrition, vitamin and mineral needs, accurately.
So how do we determine that we are providing the essential nutritional needs? That knowledgecomes by educating ourselves about what our individual needs are, the needs of our family, andthen taking that knowledge and applying it to the foods we buy, that we prepare, and that ourfamilies consume.
13
Health and Fitness Nutrition
Quite often, our vitamin and mineral needs outweigh our caloric needs. In those instances, we turnto manufactured vitamins and minerals to fill the gap. This is a part of our nutritional needs, also.
Nutrition is one of the most complex areas to gain useful knowledge about, because there are somany components, and because each person has their own individual needs.
Women needs differ from those of men, and older women’s needs differ from those of a young girl.As we age, our needs constantly change; therefore continual education about nutrition is a fact oflife. The nutritional needs of a cardiac patient are different than those of a healthy, middle-agedhiker.
Can you see the complexity of the situation now? What we really need is to develop a scale thatdetermines the nutritional needs of our bodies on a cellular level, so that as we age, as our physicalcondition changes, or our health changes, we can recalculate our needs, based on cellular changesand content in our body.
Individuality is the key to understanding each person’s nutritional needs, and then working toeducate us is the key to fulfilling those nutritional needs. Good nutrition should be the ultimate goalof every person alive.

Protein sources in healthy nutrition
Are you wondering about how to optimize your protein intake?
There are many factors that come into play when choosing sources for protein. Certain proteins arenot absorbed well by the body, while other types of protein bring a high fat content with them into thebody. Here’s a list of a few of the protein sources in healthy nutrition that can help your bodybig-time:
Meats:Poultry: Containing, on average, 26 grams of protein per serving while only having 12 grams of fat,poultry is one of the best foods you can eat for protein. Weighing in at around 140 calories perserving, chicken is a wonderful food to help keep your health up.
Beef: Slightly less healthy for you then chicken, lean beef contains about 25 grams of protein with 20grams of fat. At 275 calories, beef comes in as a close second for high protein levels.These levels are merely estimates at protein sources in health nutrition plans. Meat levels can varybetween the cuts of the meat and the quality.Also, protein sources in healthy nutrition can come in supplemental forms. Here is some informationabout them:
Whey Protein: One of the best sources of protein available, whey protein comes from milk. It is very digestable, butmay cause diarrhea due to the high lactose content.You can also obtain Soy Protein, another great source.
Why do you need protein?
Protein is one of the building blocks of your body. Amino acids found in protein are crucial forgrowth, tissue repair, and tissue replacement. Without enough protein, your body will not be able tocreate the new things it needs!It is recommended that on a daily basis, you eat about 0.75 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. It can be the key to kick-starting your health.

- Take a multi-vitamin. Even the healthiest dieter may not get all of the vitamins and nutrients theyneed from diet alone. Why? Our bodies aren’t always able to absorb nutrients efficiently from thefoods we eat. Thus it is important to take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement daily.
